U's Turn To Face Gunners

Colchester United are to host Premier League champions Arsenal in a friendly on Thursday 28th October at Stanway Rovers FC, kick-off 7.30pm.

This will be the latest in a series of friendlies for Arsenal, interspersed with their UEFA Champions League fixtures, ahead of the inaugural FA Super League season next spring

The Gunners will bring their full first team squad to Colchester's Hawthorns home, just days ahead of a Champions League trip to Madrid's Rayo Vallecano.

While the Arsenal side are likely to feature such international stars as England captain Faye White, 100 times capped Rachel Yankey, Scotland captain Jayne Ludlow and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Emma Byrne, Colchester will also have international representation on the pitch with newly capped England U-19s Maegen Doyle and Emily Heaslip, Welsh international Kylie Davies and England U-23s Sian Larkin.
